About me
Susy Pena is a Venezuelan sociologist and filmmaker based in London. Susy produces, directs and shoots her own documentaries and also works as a documentary editor, documentary camera woman and videographer. From the age of 24 she worked as a Producer and Director for a youth cultural public TV channel. The first program she created and developed was an Experimental Touristic Reality TV Show. Susy was also General Producer and Studio Director of the first feminist daily show on Venezuelan TV. After working for three years in the Venezuelan TV channel she went to the UK to study a masters degree in Documentary.In early 2019 The Guardian commissioned her opera prima, The Breadmaker, a documentary produced in Venezuela which was shown in Sheffield Doc Fest and other prestigious International Films Festivals such as Viña del Mar in Chile. Her second short documentary, This is Forever, was premiered and nominated for Best Experimental Film at BlackStar Festival 2021, was part of the selection of Hot Doc Festival 2022 and has been screened in Barbican cinema as part of BFI program. She is currently in postproduction for her third short documentary, La Morochita; and in early production for her first feature documentary.
